UCL Eastman Dental Institute

A symposium on oral health in sport

On 4 April 2014, UCL Eastman Dental Institute and the UCL Institute of Sport, Exercise & Health will host the first ever symposium on oral health and elite sport performance to be held in the UK.

Oral Health and Performance in Sport – Learning from London 2012 will take place in central London and will feature presentations from a wide range of speakers, including sports physicians and scientists, Olympic team dentists and doctors, leading oral health researchers, and representatives from the English Institute of Sport.

The event is designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in the relationship between oral health and elite performance, and the organisers hope it will foster new collaborations and new thinking in this field.
